So in fact it makes no difference if you draw the plotting at the place where you really are or anywhere on the map. You could even do it outside of the map ...
So I think when I have a contact I will just mark my position where I think I am and do the plotting from there (my course and target course) Will see...  |
Quite right, Corsair. Navigation and tactical plot are two different things. In the tactical plot, you're in the center of the universe and other vessels are in position relative to yours. You plot then by either visual or sound bearings.
When it comes to navigation, I would like to see a certain amount of ambiguity in one's position if the weather been foul (navigator unable to take sights) this being critical when near land. Radiogoniometry would help in this case when returning to base.
It would be fun to be able to take starshots, but one would need to get the tables etc. I already forgot the steps to even taking a bearing off the sun.
